Overview

Born into a wealthy plantation family, Fidel Castro established the first socialist state in the Western hemisphere in his native country Cuba. Castro liberated Cuba from the U.S.-backed Batista regime and nationalized Cuba's economy, effectively shutting the U.S. out of the country. Castro's record of human rights abuses is checkered. It is believed that 1.2 million people fled Cuba between​ ​1958 and 1993, according to U.S. Census Bureau. This compelling edition offers a balanced biography of Fidel Castro. Chapters discuss Castro's wealthy childhood, his ideological awakening, his invasion of Cuba, and his long, tenuous relations with the United States.
